For shame! “Cheney…also discussed the possibility of American forces eventually withdrawing ‘to a few locations’ in Iraq, which would ‘reduce the total number of personnel we need here.’

“‘I think you will see changes in our deployment patterns probably within this next year,’ he said.”

Last I checked, guns and IED's are the law in iraq these days. As much as some of these chumps would love to think the iraqis are going to kill each other off until none are left, they are wrong. they will kill each other, sure, but there will be plenty left to make sure that western interests never get thier hands on signifigant amounts of oil without getting bloodied in the process. if these idiots think that laws mean anything without a stable government to enforce them, they are sadly mistaken. I predict in 10 years, if anyone is getting the oil contracts in iraq, it will be the russians and the chinese. > and if he can get that oil law passed

I think Cheney thinks he's in the home stretch. He started this war for the oil, and if he can get that oil law passed -- the one that basically screws the Iraqis out of their own oil -- he doesn't care what happens after that, except that the law can't be overturned, so we'll need to keep the troops there for 30 years to enforce our theft of their oil. There's the rub. They have to keep the troops there to keep their filthy claws on the oil, and that's not gonna happen. My condolences, Hater.

He always saw the folly of being there, what a farce it all was. We can't laugh about it any longer, though. Andy was killed by an IED in Western Baghdad last Thursday.
